This story has rhyme, pattern and humour which are key features of the 'Beginner Books'. The child reading the story and the child in the story need to find an increasing number of 'wacky' things in successive pictures before everything returns to normal. It is surprisingly time-consuming to discover all the strange goings-on in the deceptively simple illustrations. This necessity to look closely at the pictures provides plenty of opportunity for talk.
